Quilt Day

Judy at PatchworkTimes.com is holding a Quiltathon this weekend and I didn't think I would be able to participate because of a busy schedule. However, a scheduled meeting was cancelled because of weather and I had some unexpected time at home.

First thing I did was pull out a counted cross-stitch project and spent an hour stitching.Then I worked on a charity quilt for my Quilt Guild. It consists of strips of fabric, all provided, and is all machine sewn including the binding. I like to spend some time each day cutting scraps of fabric into useable squares and strips, so I spent another hour doing my cutting.

Finally, I worked for a while on making half-square triangles for the Quilt-Along project that Judy is leading. I need 192 of these, so I am using the Brenda Henning's Half Square Triangulations CD to create my paper patterns.

Alas, my sewing time has come to an end and I must get ready to go to a wedding shower. Tomorrow is church and a visit to my sister, so it will be hard to fit in any more sewing time.

About Me

Retired and loving it. Now I have plenty of time to quilt, stitch, stamp, knit, read, and volunteer at church. There is also time to be lazy, stare out the window, waste time on the computer, and do Sudoku puzzles. I'm a happy camper!
